"""A high-level cross-protocol url-grabber.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using urlgrabber, data can be fetched in three basic ways:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
urlgrab(url) copy the file to the local filesystem
|
||
|
|
urlopen(url) open the remote file and return a file object
|
||
|
|
(like urllib2.urlopen)
|
||
|
|
urlread(url) return the contents of the file as a string
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When using these functions (or methods), urlgrabber supports the
|
||
|
|
following features:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* identical behavior for http://, ftp://, and file:// urls
|
||
|
|
* http keepalive - faster downloads of many files by using
|
||
|
|
only a single connection
|
||
|
|
* byte ranges - fetch only a portion of the file
|
||
|
|
* reget - for a urlgrab, resume a partial download
|
||
|
|
* progress meters - the ability to report download progress
|
||
|
|
automatically, even when using urlopen!
|
||
|
|
* throttling - restrict bandwidth usage
|
||
|
|
* retries - automatically retry a download if it fails. The
|
||
|
|
number of retries and failure types are configurable.
|
||
|
|
* authenticated server access for http and ftp
|
||
|
|
* proxy support - support for authenticated http and ftp proxies
|
||
|
|
* mirror groups - treat a list of mirrors as a single source,
|
||
|
|
automatically switching mirrors if there is a failure.
